Build fast, unique transitions with little or no work. Add glows and other effects that give you better results and more shortcuts, options and control than anything in your host app.
WHAT'S NEW IN UNIVERSE 2
Universe 2.0 brings 4 new effects and transitions, as well as updates to 18 existing plug-ins. In addition, 22 tools have been updated with a visual preset browser that makes it easy to preview and apply effects.
HUD COMPONENTS
This update includes a new HUD Components tool that instantly creates Heads Up Display elements for use in motion graphics. Packed with tons of presets, element shapes and behaviors for creating a variety of effects.
LINE
The new Line tool makes it simple to generate a line between two points with options to draw it as a curving bezier path or straight line. Change the color and style of the line and the points and choose how they animate over time. Useful for simulating flight paths, travel indicators on a map, and a variety of other motion graphics.
LOGO MOTION
Instantly add dynamic animation to your logos and text. Bring your imagery on and off the screen with a hinge style swing, slide on, or a slightly eased in and out of “pop.”
